Hi girls was just curious how long everyone stimmed for? This is my second IVF last cycle I stimmed and triggered on day 9. Today I had my u/s and b/w looks like I'm responding much slower and they've changed my meds this time. I'm not going back until day 7 of stims, so I'm feeling a little freaked out b/c it's so different that last cycle. Does anyone know if you stim longer or shorter if it makes a different for egg quality? I've tried to google it didn't find too much info. TIA
Re: How long did you stim for?
I stimmed for 10 and 11 days for the 2 IVFs (14 mature both times) and 11 days for my IUI (crappy response - 1 follie).
IVF#1, stimmed for 14 days. 5 mature follies, 4 fertilized All good quality eggs
IVF#2 stimmed for 8 days, 3 mature follies, 2 fertilized, Both good quality.
IVF #1 - 11 days
IVF #2 - 13 days
With EPP, I won't go in for my first monitoring appointment until day 7 of stims.
I stimmed for 12 days, tonight is my trigger...I only had one size 18 today, so I'm praying some more catch up.
My RE said the golden window is between 10-12 days but I could be pushed to 13 and it would be fine...It looks like everyone is different.
